When Cai Dong, the landlord, came here, famous families migrated and settled, and many people built high halls, deep courtyards and private gardens. One hundred years ago, there was a Wangjialou (now Hangtou Guoyuan Group 3) in the southeast corner of Hangtou Township adjacent to Xinchang. Wang Xing has a big landlord whose ancestors once owned a thousand acres of land. To show his strength, Wang Bo, a descendant, tried to win people's hearts. On one occasion, a salt catcher banned salt smuggling and killed a salt dealer. In a rage, the salt people stormed the salt fishing camp and killed a salt catcher on the spot. The county government immediately wrote to the Suzhou government asking them to send troops to suppress the salt people. Wang Wei, who was given the reputation of fishing, stood up and spoke for the salt people. The reason is that "this county is a salt-producing area, and it is common to buy and sell sea salt. How can private salt be banned?" He filed a lawsuit against the county anti-smuggling camp and the county government in Suzhou. Wang made friends with Lu Chunjiang in Futai, Suzhou, and sent his adopted son to Futai. According to legend, Wang only sent a door bag worth tens of thousands of yuan. Lu was moved by the king's words and said to the king, "I have only been sent for a few years. If I am transferred, the salt case will definitely revive. It is better to send it to our office desk and keep it safe forever. " In this way, Wang Bo wrote the name of his adopted son on the desk of Suzhou government. After that, Wang Yongsheng prepared a generous gift to greet him every year. Every time he transferred to a government station, he always gave generously. With the support of Suzhou government, the lawsuit ended in victory. Since then, Wang Bo became famous in the county, and Wang Yongsheng was promoted to the position of Baozuo, director of the county grain depot. Wang Yongsheng also has 40 hectares of land and a loquat garden. He tried his best to search for money, invested in various industries in Hong Kong, opened kiln factories and money houses in Pudong, and invested in pawnbroking.

There is another saying that Wang Yongsheng gave birth to two men and four women when he was alive, and three of the four women died of lung disease. In order to keep Wang's cigarettes and give the remaining cigarettes a peaceful and beautiful environment, he spent money to build this garden according to his son's usual hobby of flowers. However, no matter how good the environment is and no amount of money can protect Wang's descendants, two sons have been killed by tuberculosis and cancer. From then on, he was disheartened and stopped the construction projects such as expanding rockeries, and Wang's garden gradually became desolate and desolate.
